About Light Sensors
Light sensors are also known as photoelectric devices or photo sensors, as they convert light energy into electricity. Photoelectric devices are categorized into two types, photovoltaic or photoemissive, which generate electricity when illuminated, and photo-resistors or photoconductors, which alter their electrical properties in some ways.
